Customer review

Liked: Giuseppe was very friendly and jovial. Was also very helpful- he had his assistant book the Uffizi gallery for myself and the other people that I was travelling with.

Disliked: I don't have any complaints.
When I booked this hostel on Hostelbookers, I had seen other people's complaints regarding Giuseppe- in that he was unfriendly, but I did not find this at all. He is lacking in English, but you can't expect everybody you meet to speak English!!!
People had also made complaints about the breakfast, however biscuits are a typical Italian breakfast, so I don't think that you should expect much else!!!!!

Liked: Nice breakfast and a PC with internet connection for free. Free towell and shampoo.

Disliked: The owner didn't respect the 10% deposit. He said that is a payment onfly for Hostel Bookers and that he must charge the whole price like I wouldn't have payed the 10%. He clearly doesn't know how the system works.
Also, there where too many beds for a room of that size. He had bed on the hall.

Liked: Guiseppe is very nice, although his English isn´t good, but he will try. It was in a good area, easy to get around from there. Breakfast was fine for a hostel breakfast.

Disliked: I was in basically a hotel room with 4 beds and close together as possible. Wifi didn´t work in the room. The only ¨common room¨ was basically Guiseppe´s living room so there wasn´t really a place to hang out and meet people.

Liked: Great location, rooms are split between two different apartments but right next to each other, rooms haven't got much space, but tat should be expected from hostels. Had two computers with internet and wifi in the kitchen area to use. one bathroom between 7 beds,again a hostel so don't complain! I found the shower good as I used it in evening, others ran out of hot water when several tried to use it in morning.

Disliked: Not dislike, but usual "breakfast included" - food not worth the place in your stomach, having said that,the coffee was great (if you like coffee to really hit you!) so that's always good to wake up to.

Liked: some ppl came to the place by mistake, without acknowledging that the hostel was in countryside. even though it is quite far from florence, chianti is fantastic as itself. the value for money would be 5/5!

Disliked: there were several times of thunder and the internet didn't work while i was staying there.

Liked: It was very safe, in a central location (you are able to walk everywhere in town- except maybe the Uffizi!)

Disliked: The owner spoke no English so it was quite hard to get anything asked. The rooms are very basic, your typical hostel.

Liked: This is the BEST hostel I've stay! and my friends agree so! If I can give more than 101 marks for this hostel, i'll do so!
the staffs there are friendly! The owner there doesn't know much English, and he tried his best to communicate with us, and I think we worked! :)
The room is clean, and tidied up everyday! The breakfast is great!
it's worth so much more than the price!
I'lll stay again in the future, even if I had the money for hotel! :D
